Yes in the league, not overall. And thats nothing to brag about. Mourinho said he is tired of his strikers after the last game and will buy a striker. why do we always compare our players to the worst to make them look good? He is garbage
No1fan brought up chelsea and their strikers and you seem to be agreeing?
You probably hate him so much because his goals won all those matches in the first months of the season when you were busy fretting over fener, or how hard we were going to get battered by the scum or liverpool or fulham or swansea.
Giroud is in a rut atm, but you and all the other members of the mob didn’t really seem to be going off the deep end when he was banging them in.
You weren't hanging off aguero's nuts when he managed to muster 12 (?) Goals last season in the PL playing for city.
No one was really talking about suarez positively in his first season when he was the woodwork king or his second season when he missed a massive chunk through supension.
Giroud goes on a barren run and all of a sudden, its debatable if hes as good as chamakh? Please.
Us and west ham are the only clubs in the league with 1 genuine striker. Bendtner has taken until now to look even half fit enough to represent.
EVERYONE knows we need a new striker but it seems that who we do have right now is being driven into the ground (mainly on here I admit) because he is carrying the load 90 minutes after 90 minutes for the whole of the first half of the season.
Its like giroud is the first striker to ever go through a goalless streak on here, its almost unimaginable that that could happen to a player in some of you lots minds.
it happens to far better strikers. Its happened to strikers some people are calling out for right now.
its like you are actively choosing to forget that his match winners at the start of the season haven't contributed to us being number 1 in the country right at this moment.
hate on.
if you read what i said, i was saying chelseas strikers are also garbage but ofcourse you will find the shittest people to compare giroud to. Why not carlton cole and lambert next?
The thing with you zedie is i like you you're positive about the club like me but i dont understand how people can watch giroud play and come to the conclusion that he's good for the club.
Its pretty clear that it isnt just his goal scoring that is lacking. He's incredibly poor on the ball. He often destroys our moves by misplacing passes (66% pass success rate so 1 in 3 of his passes dont find the target and its not like he plays 40 yeard though balls most of his passes are less than 10 yards). He loses the ball (ieven ignoring his woeful passing stats) more than any one of our players yet he doesnt make forward runs, he doesnt dribble so it baffles me why he gets dispossessed so easily when he is meant to be good at holding the ball up.
The strengths he brings to this team barely help us offensively, he is only good in the air defensively but offensively he's never anywhere close to crosses and has shown any airial dominance in his goal output.
Now you're talking about a so called baron spell but i'll argue that this is just girouds general level. He got 11 league goals last season and 1 game away from the midpoint this he's on 7 so right now he's on course to acheive 14 league goals which is within that range. Bringing up suarez and aguero makes no sense. Suarez already this has scored more league goals than giroud has in his 1.5 seasons here it doesnt matter what he was like in his first season he has actually stepped up now and shown why he should have been afforded a bit of patience.
Aguero in his first season scored bucketloads, was injured alot of last (yet still scored more than giroud who was our only striker) and again is scoring bucketloads this including in big games.
The woeful excuse that he shouldnt play 90mins after 90mins is pathetic, strikers who reach 30 league goals do this, whilst we all know giroud isnt in that calibre it shouldnt be beyond him to represent the team on a gamely basis. He had a 9 day break preceding this run of fixtures yet he has looked worse than ever i'm not sure how long people can drum out that painfully inept excuse that he is tired. That is far from the case.
Ofcourse giroud isnt exactly as bad as chamakh but he is closer to chamakhs level than he is to the level of striker that we should expect at this club. I dont think he is good enough to play for us, he isnt the type of striker to come on and score if he was a sub nor is he good enough to start. We should look to buy a starter and someone who can make an impact coming off from the bench and get rid of giroud as soon as possible.
